INSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX

by G. W. Maupin, Jr.

Highway Research Engineer

INTRODUCTION

An investigatien was initiated in the spring of 1972 to develop surface mixes with high skid resistance for use at special locations. The porous friction course will hopefully provide high skid coefficients where water drainage and hydroplaning may be problems. The porous friction course has sufficient voids and channels to allow water to drain to the bottom of the layer and out to the shoulder.

INSTALLATION OF POROUS FRICTION COURSES

Two sections of a porous friction course (pop-corn) hot plant mix were installed during 1972. The inttial installation was on Route 60 in Appomatox County on May 24, 1972 and a second section was installed at an accident prone location on Route 23 in Scott County on September 18 and 19, 1972 (see Figure 1 attached).

MATER IA LS

Two aggregates were utilized in separate test sections on Route 60. one a crushed stone from Rockydale Stone of Lynchburg, and the other a lightweight aggregate from the Hercules plant at Snowden, Virginia.

A No. 8 crushed gravel from Vulcan Materials, Erwin, Tennessee, was used in the Route 23 installation.

The gradations of all materials are listed in Table 1.

Approximately 0.07 gal/sy of AP-3 was used as a tack coat on Route 60 and 0. i gal/sy residual asphalt CAE-2 emulsion was applied to Route 23.

CONTA INERIZ AT ION: SOME TRENDS A•-D PROBLEMS

Daniel D. McGeehan" Highway Research Analyst

INTRODUCTION

The information presented in this report is the result of data

compiled for an HPR study entitled "A Forecast of the Effects of

Containerization on the Transportation System in the State of Virginia",

due for completion by June 30, 1973o The purpose of the stUdy is to

determine the impact of the growing use of containers for freight

shipments on the state's transportation system. It involves water,

highway, and rail transportation and, most importantly, their inter-

relations.

This brief report focuses on some of the problems facing the

Por• Authority in the transportation of containers over highways and

speculates upon the methods the Authority might employ in seeking solutions.

Page 7: INSTALLATION HOTINSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX by G. W. Maupin, Jr. Highway Research Engineer INTRODUCTION An investigatien was initiated in the spring

CONCLUSIONS

Twenty (20) foot containers are entering the l•orts in growing numbers

and when combined with the fact that economic drawbacks cause reluctance.

of motor carriers to move them, a congestion problem can be anticipated in

the ports.

The Port Authority, in an attempt, to solve this problem, may.move

•. to modify sections of the Virginia Code which deals with the movement of

•[ •re•ght over the highways.

,.lud•ng from the trends of other states the sections "§46.1-3•5,

Vehicles having more than one trailer, etc., attached thereto," and •.. •§46.1-339, Weight of vehicles and loads, •' would be ones in which

modifications would be sought.

If the move is made to modify these laws the modifications should

be viewed in terms other than either/or. The alternatives should be

viewed in terms of containerized freight vs. breakbulk,-small container

movement (the problem) vs. general twin-trailer movement (a generalized

issue) or imported containers (more difficult to control) vs. domestic, containers.

Projeetions made by the Virginia 15oft Authority and given in table

favor of containerized freight by 1981. This rapid increase in container

freight is not only dependent on the tendency of the shipping industry

toward containerization but also upon the expansion of the ports facilities

to handle the increased volume containerized cargo.

All sizes of containers enjoy the benefits of intermodal transit,

limited handling, and generally reduced costs (see appendix I }.

Because of the ease with which a container can be moved from one

mode of travel to another the time expended on a 40 foot box is no

more than that spent on a 20 foot bo,•. The 40 foot box being

larger contains more cargo and thus i:eturns more profit for time

expended. Motor carriers feel that since the ton•-•mile cost de-

creased with the increase in Loaded Gross weight (see table 4) the

40 fo•ters are much more prc•fitable to handle than the 20 footers.

In fac• the marg•n-al distance within which it is profitable to haul a

20 footer is about 150 miles.

Table 5 shows the number of loaded and empty containers that

entered the Norfolk International Terminal in 1971.

Table 5

It can be seen that a substantial number of 20 foot containers are

entering the Norfolk pctt; of the total, about 46% are empty and would

present no weight problem. There arevarious reasons shy empty

containers are shipped into the country. Primarily, they have been

unloaded at their foreign destinations and are being returned to the

owner. Secondarily, they have been manufactured overseas and are

being shipped to the consumer in this country.

One of the largest problems within the container industry is that

there has been almost no use of the pooling concept. The interuse

of containers by different owners has only recently been a serious

objective.

As the problems inhibiting the growth of pooling are resol•ced,

the• more efficient use of these boxes will be realized and

the number of empty containers will be reduced; conversely the

Page 11: INSTALLATION HOTINSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX by G. W. Maupin, Jr. Highway Research Engineer INTRODUCTION An investigatien was initiated in the spring

ALTERNATIVE METIiODS OF MOV•'G 20-FOOT CONTAINERS

ALTERNATB•E I

This is the most obvious of the alternatives, •o load the 20 foot

box to capacity.

The 20 foot box loaded to capacity would in all probability not

exceed the maximum weight allowed By law. The carrying capacity.

is 20 long tons or 38,080 lb. This weight, combined with the tare

weight of 15,000 lb. for the tractor, 3,600 lb. for the container,

and 7,¢•00 lb. for the chassis, equals 63,680 lbo, or 9,820 lb.

lighter than the 73,500 lb. (70,000 + 5• tolerance) allowed by law.

However, the weight allowable on the high•vays is not solely

dependent on gross weight alone, but on the numbers of axles on

the combination tractor and chassis used to haul the container and

the distance between these axles as prescribed inthe follow-in

provisions of section 46. 1 339 of the Code of Virginia (see

appendix II of this report)-

(c) "single axle weight on any vehicle or combination shall not exceed eighteen thousand pounds "

{d} "The total gross weight imposed upon the highway by a vehicle or combination shall not exceed the maximum weight given for the respective distance between the first and last axle of the group of axles measured longitudinally to the nearest foot as set forth in the following table:

Page 12: INSTALLATION HOTINSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX by G. W. Maupin, Jr. Highway Research Engineer INTRODUCTION An investigatien was initiated in the spring

some intermediate location they •ust be separated. The separation

requires special equipment (i. e., a crane) and thus entails additional

handling and expense.

(b) T•vin 20 foot containers cc,"•,l•d, (marriage)

Two 20 foot containers can be coupled to form a single unit that

can be transported over-the road on a specially designed chassis.

The coupling is inserted in the circular openings of the bottom corner

fittings of abutting containers and twist- locks in place. This coupling

remains in tension and a top fitting serves as a compression member.

This method presents the same problem as the previous one; i. e.,

often the units must be separated. HoWever, a crane is not needed for

the separation, but it is desirable to have a level plateform so the

couplings do not bind when being removed. Additional expense is in-

curred in the uncoupling, but when compared with economics of hauling

a single unit this cost may not be significant.

This method is preferable to alternative (a), however, it. is

probably not legal in Virginia. 46. 1 335 of the code states:

No motor vehicle shall be driven upon a highway drawing or having attached thereto more than one motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer unless suc.h vehicle is being operated under special perrait from the State Highway Commission (see appendix II for complete context).

Page 13: INSTALLATION HOTINSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX by G. W. Maupin, Jr. Highway Research Engineer INTRODUCTION An investigatien was initiated in the spring

Possible Courses of Action for the..P0..rt Authority

The port states of New York, Ne•v Jersey, and Maryland alon•

with many o•her states have modified •he•r laws in recent years to

permit the hauling of the double bottom trailer (see Appendix • and 4).

More recently the State of Maryland has dropped the "bridge law"

requirement on containers of foreign origin. Many states including

the port state of South Carolina have never used the bridge formMa.

It therefore seems that one course of action which might be

sought is to modify existing sections of the Virginia Code dealing

with vehicle weight, sizes and combinations using these other states

as precedent.

Page 14: INSTALLATION HOTINSTALLATION REPORT ON POROUS FRICTION COURSE HOT PLANT MIX by G. W. Maupin, Jr. Highway Research Engineer INTRODUCTION An investigatien was initiated in the spring

the container movement will be shared bet•veen the industry which

moves containers and governments having jurisdiction over the

laws governing their movement.

A. PPENDIX I

DEFINITIONS

1. Container

The container is a box-like structure made of steel, aluminum, fiberglass reinforced-plywood sandwiches, or combinations of these. materials. The dimensions of the container have not been standardized throughout the shipping industry. However, the MH5 Committee of the United States of America Standards Institute (now the America National Standards Institute) has suggested the following:

Group I De.mountable Containers 8 by 8 by 40 feet, 8 by 8 by 30 feet, 8 by 8 by 20 feet, and 8 by 8 by 10 feet; Group II Demountable Cargo Containers 8 by 6.5 feet, and 8 by 5 feet containers now in use

are 20 feet, 24 feet, 35 feet, and 40 feet-in length.

The container has a tare weight of approximately four pounds per cubic foot. This loading weight is necessary to enable the stacking of fully loaded containers and to withstand heavy weather at sea when loaded •bove deck. Although the containers are intermodal in concept, this heavy weight restricts shipment by air. (A lightweight aluminumcontainer has been developed; this container is 8 by 8 by 10 feet in. dimension.)

The containers can be transferred between different types of trans- portation (e.g., rail, highway, or sea).

2. Advantages of Container Method

The main advantage of containerized freight is the savings due. to repeated use of one shipping package, reduction in time and reduced cost of insurance

The alternative shipping method that can be used in place of- containerization is "brea'kbulk." "Breakbulk" refers to stowing freight loose rather than in containers.

With the 'rbreakbulk" method each freight package must be strong enough to withstand repeated handling and pressure from other freight placed upon it. This packaging is often expensive not only in material, labor charges to construct and dispose of such packaging, but in time spent in getting goods to the consignee. The container method eliminates these extra costs plus utilizes extra space taken up by these packages, thus increasing profits to the shipper. Since many costs are passed on to the consumer, the savings of container movement is realized in general.

5. Containerizable Cargo

Cargo suitable for containerization falls into two categories. One class is composed of goods that will fit into a container and that are valuable enough'ta justify the use of a co..ntainer for overseas movement. The other class is composed of goods th•t.t will fit into a container but are

not of sufficient value to warrant, by th•mselves, the more expensive shipment by container. This latter category can be used as filler once the primary cargo has been loaded.
